Wescorp Anti-static, Clear Cellulose Tape with ESD Symbols - Plastic or Paper Core
This style of Desco’s Wescorp clear cellulose tape is marked with ESD symbols (MIL STD-1285 and ESDA) between the film and adhesive. The ESD symbols distinguish ESD version tapes from standard, non-ESD tapes. These are available in multiple widths, and with a paper or plastic core. Rolls with a plastic core help to minimize foreign object debris, particulation, and other contaminations when used in clean or sensitive areas.
These tapes contain a low charging, transparent cellulose film with high tack rubber adhesive. Wescorp tape generates less than 50 volts when unwound from roll (at 73°F, 45% RH average) making it safe to use around most ESD sensitive items.
All tapes will generate some amount of triboelectric charge when unwound from roll. Standard, non-ESD tapes typically generate more than 1000 volts when unwound from roll. If you require less voltage than 50 volts, a grounded tape dispenser or ionization is recommended when unrolling the tape. Please see the accessories section of this page for the Desco 81282 tape dispenser.
